A Supplementary Act to the Act entituled, An Act to enable the

[Preamble.]

have entered into and made an Agreement with William Waite, of the
Colony of Virginia, for the Erecting and Building a Church in the
Parish aforesaid, according to certain Articles between them exe-
cuted; and many of the Materials for the said Building have been
brought, and now are on or near the Place where the said Church
is to be built in Pursuance of the said Agreement.
And whereas, soon after the making the said Agreement and
Bond with sufficient Surety being taken, for the said Waite his
complying therewith, the Majority of the Vestrymen of the said
Parish, at a Meeting of the said Vestry, did, in Pursuance of their
said Agreement, draw an Order on the Sheriff of the said County,
in whose Hands the Tobacco for the first Year's Assessment then
was, to pay the same to the said Waite, which Payment the said
Sheriff refused to make, because the said Order was not signed by
the Churchwardens for the said Parish, by Means of which Refusal,
the said Waite hath not yet received any of the Tobacco which has
been levyed by Virtue of the said Act, but the same still remains in
the Hands of the said Sheriff: In order therefore, that the said
Agreement for the Building the said Church may be executed, and
the Contract made by the said Vestrymen, on their Part, discharged,
it is prayed that it may be Enacted.

And be it Enacted, by the Right Honourable the Lord Proprietary,
by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's Governor,
and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the Authority
of the same, That all the Tobacco now in the Hands of the said
Sheriff by him received, by Virtue of the said Act, he shall be
